How To Get Your Guy Involved In Wedding Planning
February 5, 2014
Wedding planning falls to the bride, whether she wants a big or small wedding. Guys just don’t seem to care that much. Maybe it’s the details, maybe it’s not masculine enough, maybe they’re just lazy. I know I’m stereotyping, but this is my experience and all of my friends. I’m not saying my guy isn’t […]

Our event coordinator at Foss Waterway Seaport has dealt with a lot of brides and has learned valuable tips from each event.

First Step to Planning a Wedding
September 23, 2013
My first step to planning our wedding is to create an Excel spreadsheet. I use spreadsheets to organize almost everything. Each tab is a different category, which allows me to add as much information/ideas as I can. Another tip is to use Google Drive if you have a gmail account. This let me add information from […]
Our Proposal
September 17, 2013
Tyler is a lineman apprentice, which means he is sent to work wherever they need him. Tyler was going to work in Southern Oregon (about 6 hours away), so we decided to go out to a really nice dinner before he left. As soon as I got home from work on Friday night, Tyler was […]
